This lets you write methods using `self: Rc<Self>`, `self: Arc<Self>`, `self: Pin<&mut Self>`, `self: Pin<Box<Self>`, and other combinations involving `Pin` and another stdlib receiver type, without needing the `arbitrary_self_types`. Other user-created receiver types can be used, but they still require the feature flag to use.
This is implemented by introducing a new trait, `Receiver`, which the method receiver's type must implement if the `arbitrary_self_types` feature is not enabled. To keep composed receiver types such as `&Arc<Self>` unstable, the receiver type is also required to implement `Deref<Target=Self>` when the feature flag is not enabled.
This lets you use `self: Rc<Self>` and `self: Arc<Self>` in stable Rust, which was not allowed previously. It was agreed that they would be stabilized in #55786. `self: Pin<&Self>` and other pinned receiver types do not require the `arbitrary_self_types` feature, but they cannot be used on stable because `Pin` still requires the `pin` feature.
Add Weak.ptr_eq
I hope the doc tests alone are good enough.
We also might want to discuss the dangling pointer case (from `Weak::new()`).
Updates #55981.
Rename `CoerceSized` to `DispatchFromDyn`, and reverse the direction so that, for example, you write
```
impl<T: Unsize<U>, U> DispatchFromDyn<*const U> for *const T {}
```
instead of
```
impl<T: Unsize<U>, U> DispatchFromDyn<*const T> for *const U {}
```
this way the trait is really just a subset of `CoerceUnsized`.
The checks in object_safety.rs are updated for the new trait, and some documentation and method names in there are updated for the new trait name — e.g. `receiver_is_coercible` is now called `receiver_is_dispatchable`. Since the trait now works in the opposite direction, some code had to updated here for that too.
I did not update the error messages for invalid `CoerceSized` (now `DispatchFromDyn`) implementations, except to find/replace `CoerceSized` with `DispatchFromDyn`. Will ask for suggestions in the PR thread.
In the comments of (closed, defunct) pull request #54884, Mazdak
"Centril" Farrokhzad noted that must-use annotations didn't work on an
associated function (what other communities might call a "static
method"). Subsequent logging revealed that in this case we have a
`Def::Method`, whereas the lint pass was only matching on
`Def::Fn`. (One could argue that those def-names are thereby
misleading—must-use for self-ful methods have always worked—but
documenting or reworking that can be left to another day.)
This commit introduces language items for `Arc` and `Rc` so that types
can later be checked to be `Arc` or `Rc` in the NLL borrow checker. The
`lang` attribute is currently limited to `stage1` as it requires a
compiler built with knowledge of the expected language items.
Update to a new pinning API.
~~Blocked on #53843 because of method resolution problems with new pin type.~~

The acronym is not descriptive unless one has seen it before.
* Rename the `oom` function to `handle_alloc_error`. It was **stabilized in 1.28**, so if we do this at all we need to land it this cycle.
* Rename `set_oom_hook` to `set_alloc_error_hook`
* Rename `take_oom_hook` to `take_alloc_error_hook`
Bikeshed: `alloc` v.s. `allocator`, `error` v.s. `failure`
As discussed in
https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/49668#issuecomment-384893456
and subsequent, there are use-cases where the OOM handler needs to know
the size of the allocation that failed. The alignment might also be a
cause for allocation failure, so providing it as well can be useful.
Partial future-proofing for Box<T, A>
In some ways, this is similar to @eddyb's PR #47043 that went stale, but doesn't cover everything. Notably, this still leaves Box internalized as a pointer in places, so practically speaking, only ZSTs can be practically added to the Box type with the changes here (the compiler ICEs otherwise).
The Box type is not changed here, that's left for the future because I want to test that further first, but this puts things in place in a way that hopefully will make things easier.
As of now, Box only contains a Unique pointer, so this is the sole
argument to box_free. Consequently, we remove the code supporting
the previous box_free signature. We however keep the old definition
for bootstrapping purpose.
94d1970bba moved the alloc::allocator
module to core::heap, moving e.g. Alloc and Layout out of the alloc
crate. While alloc::heap reexports them, it's better to use them from
where they really come from.
